Oh, me father was the keeper of the eddystone light
And he slept with a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me

Chorus:
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, oh for the life on the rolling sea

One day as i was a-trimmin' the glim
Humming a tune from the evening hymn
A voice from the starboard shouted, "ahoy!"
And there was me mother a-sittin' on the buoy

Chorus

"oh what has become of me children three?"
Me mother then she asked of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
The other was served in a chafing dish

Chorus

Then the phosporus flashed in her seaweed hair
I looked again, but me mother wasn't there
But i heard her voice echoing back through the night:
"the devil take the keeper of the eddystone light!"

Chorus

Oh the moral of the story you'll learn when you find
To leave god's creatures for what nature had in mind
For fishes are for cookin', mermaids are for tales
Seaweed is for sushi and protecting is for whales

Chorus
